Notes

There were several families named Cargill or Cargile in Virginia at the same time. Cornelius Cargill was one. Another was John Cargill whose name changed to Cargile, he moved to Wilkes Co., N.C. Another John Cargill, whose name also changed to Cargile, moved to Georgia. Then there was Rev. John Cargill whose wife was Sarah Hamlin Lowe.

have no information on Thomas Cargile's parents, except that his father was John Cargile, a gunsmith, in Wilkes Co., N.C. One John Cargile married a Catherine Reno/Reneau in, I believe, Georgia, but I believe this John and Catherine may not have been Thomas' parents. I am fairly certain that the Peggy Cargile who married William Fletcher was Thomas' sister. The fact that our John Cargile was a gunsmith may be helpful, but there seems to have been several Johns. Also, I believe Thomas had a brother named William, who lived in Hinds Co., Ms. In Jackson Co., Al. (from which Marshall Co. was partly formed) were several other Cargiles, which I feel sure were related, but I haven't determined how. If I find anything about Thomas' parents, I'll post it, and I hope you will post anything you find. Thanks, Lynn Hayes

Does this tally with your records? Most of this information is from a lady named Katherine McClure who has done much research on our Cargile family. The last correspondence I had with her was July 25, 1999. At that time her email address was kmcclure@mev.net Another well-versed Cargile researcher is John Cargile, whose email address in 2000 was jcargile@bellsouth.net Other sources include the usual research tools, such as census reports, tax and other legal records, and cemetery records.
